L.A. residents are not satisfied with the results of the millions of tax dollars spent on homelessness and think it’s time to break with longstanding practices. But even with those reservations, they would be willing to continue or expand funding, a Times poll found.
As homelessness has exploded in Los Angeles in recent years, taxpayers have been willing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on housing, shelters and services to help get people off the streets.
Last month, a pollster hired by the Los Angeles Times and the Los Angeles Business Council Institute surveyed 901 voters in Los Angeles County. The poll found that 95% of respondents believe homelessness is a very serious problem. The issue was discussed with a focus group made up of L.A. County residents.Three-quarters said they would support a “right-to-shelter” law similar to the policy that’s used in New York.
Ambivalence also was evident in respondents’ views on development issues. While 68% thought that allowing higher-density, mixed-income housing near transit would be effective and 63% favored letting developers construct larger buildings along major commercial corridors, only 43% favored building apartments on single-family lots.
But Andrea Kidd, a homemaker and another participant in the focus group, said a quick fix was “just gonna keep bringing the problem back and back and cost us more money when it’s better to get a longtime solution.”The poll uncovered similar wavering.
Garcetti attributed the cost increases for the projects to various causes, including the price of steel, a tight labor market and the devaluation of tax credit financing by the 2017 federal income tax reduction.competition
